For those of you who want to rekindle the feelings of pain and lonliness caused by sadistic english teachers who would make you copy word-for-word out of dictionaries as punishment... (breath, Pete...), finally, there is a book for you!  "Chasing the Sun: Dictionary-makers and the Dictionaries they Made" encompasses the many-fasceted world of the dictionary makers.  Such incredible writers as Duey Decimal, Noah Webster, and Ben Stein are all covered here, along with stories about how they gained their incredible super powers.  Who would have believed the astounding spelling abilities Ray Stevens actually has if they hadn't read this book?!?  So for all of you out there who are really, really into lexiconography, check out this incredible title!  For those of you who want your friends to think you are incredibly, as the French say, "banal," get this book!  For the rest of you, Get This Book!  You will really like it.  We swear.  I'm not lying.
